I'd never made ziti before, but, inspired by a memory from The Sopranos wherein Tony was always eating leftover ziti from the refrigerator and the priest said, "Carm, I'm jonesing for some of your ziti," I decided to give it a try.
It's basically a deconstructed lasagna-- noodles, a ragout of Italian sausage and tomato sauce, ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan, all baked together.
It was tasty but a bit reminiscent of school lunches, Next time I'll up the garlic--4 cloves wasn't near enough-- as well as the pepper flakes.
But now I'm ready to watch The Sopranos again.
